We use a lot of Ubiquiti in our shop and I can vouch for it -- everything I need (and most of the stuff I want, too) and it's honestly pretty straightforward. You have advanced settings if you really want them, but the defaults are pretty sane. If you get the CGU, it can manage your APs and...

In a couple years, any platform that can't give the "are you an adult" flag won't be allowed to load most websites, most likely.

I'll look more into that when the helpdesk team takes over more duties to turn my job into much more of a traditional 9-5 instead of 9-5 plus being on-call for everything 24/7. It's nerve-wracking enough just trying to schedule in time with friends and family without having call anxiety. It...

I had to tune out from the news. It's getting to the point where it's all that's in my algorithms and I just can't handle it anymore. I'm starting to have fucking panic attacks when I wake up in the morning wondering "what's happened now".

I’m not even talking about the kind of stuff that gets printed and sold behind the counter. No, I’m talking about the shock sites and various prototypes to stuff you’d find on LiveLeak now. I won’t name anything in specific, and I doubt I’ve seen anything outright illegal more than just...

I saw all kinds of stuff I was never meant to online as a kid and while I can't say I turned out fine I am a functional tax-paying member of society. I completely agree.

Yeah, apparently Newsom himself said that the law wasn't enforceable as-is because it was so vague, but urged it to be pushed through anyway as it can be amended later on. Or something. I find it entertaining that a BSD fork responded by modifying their license to prohibit use in California...

The funny thing is you'd think having soldered RAM called "Display Cache" would mean the 815 doesn't have to steal system RAM, but no. From what I understand it uses this faster pool of RAM that only it can access (I think wired over AGP, even) mostly for the Z-buffer in 3D applications, no...

It wasn't a hyperbole back in Trump I to say they had elements and characteristics of fascism -- to be fair, American politics in general has kind of always had that bent to an extent IMO with how much weight we put on presidential elections -- but things have deteriorated so much that I don't...

For context, the reason I'm doing this, is because I'm starting to realize having a billion computers all kicking around and taking up space is a not-amazing idea, and I'm starting to try to downsize -- I know it really doesn't look it, yet, but these smaller machines, if they work out and end...

I put in a lowball on what was obviously a little SFF barebones PC kit from the turn of the millennium -- the plastic peel for the badge on the front was still present, despite some scratches in the powdercoating on the metal indicating it'd seen a little bit of careless handling -- and...

aw sweet, man-made horrors beyond my comprehension

It was a tweet from OSINTdefender with the following:

Well, this certainly isn't concerning at all.

If you can source an S-VHS capable deck you could make use of the (marginally) cleaner S-Video output. It's a little sharper than regular VHS due to separating the brightness and color signals from each other, though that'll likely be of dubious benefit at best on regular VHS or VHS-C tape...
